Saltroad provides private access to NHS speech and language therapists, matching families with specialists tailored to each child's clinical needs and aiming to eliminate waiting lists. The service targets a large unmet need—about one in five children in the UK, or roughly two million, require support with speech, language and communication. Saltroad operates a network of over 1,000 therapists across the UK and positions its offering as lower-cost than traditional private therapy while maintaining 1:1 care. The company recently acquired Ogma, an AI documentation platform, to convert therapy session output into structured, clinically useful notes that cut after-hours admin and standardise record quality. Saltroad plans to embed AI tooling across its workforce to increase therapist capacity without compromising clinical quality or wellbeing. Its stated future plan is to build an AI-enabled SLT workforce that combines an associate model with purpose-built tools to free therapists to spend more time in therapy.

Biomarx is building the next generation of genomic laboratory medicine platforms that lower the cost, complexity and skill barriers traditionally associated with next-generation sequencing. Its automated system is designed for rapid, affordable detection of circulating tumour DNA fragments, aiming to reduce health inequalities and speed the clinical adoption of personalised therapies. The company’s first product will be a liquid biopsy test for non-small cell lung cancer, supporting earlier detection and targeted treatment decisions. Fresh capital will allow Biomarx to progress from proof of concept to a minimum viable product, secure ISO 13485 accreditation and run a preliminary lab-based clinical study. Development work will be carried out in Glasgow in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, leveraging the university’s deep-tech commercialisation ecosystem. Financially, the company has just closed a £700,000 pre-seed round, its first disclosed external funding. These resources position Biomarx to advance towards clinical validation and eventual market entry.

The founders aim to make farmdrive the global single source of truth for livestock data and an essential infrastructure layer for transparent, resilient food supply chains.
